I didn’t grow up on a lot of boxed processed
foods so I never had the Salisbury steak frozen dinners. My husband on the
other hand grew up on them and loves Salisbury steak. He was excited when I found
this recipe because. I on the other hand wasn’t too sure. I have heard from
other people how bad Salisbury steak is but I can only assume after trying this
recipe they were referring to the frozen dinners.

This recipe is delicious the
gravy alone is ridiculously good. I think I could just eat the gravy over
mashed potatoes… Who needs the meat? I am in love with this recipe and can’t
wait to make it again. It’s a bit time consuming and probably not something I would
make during the week, but it sure makes a beautiful Sunday dinner.

Ingredients:

Onion Gravy

2 large red onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 cups low-sodium beef broth

1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Salt and pepper

Meat Patties

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 cup cooked white rice

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 clove minced garlic

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

To make gravy: Heat butter in a large sauté
pan. Add onions and cook over medium-high heat, until onions start to brown,
stirring occasionally. When onions are slightly softened and turning a deep
honey brown, add 1/4 cup broth.

Reduce heat, cover and continue cooking, adding
more broth as needed to prevent caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan from
burning. It should take at least 25 to 30 minutes to properly caramelize
onions.

Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half.
Stir in remaining beef broth and tomato paste.
